Generate a switchdev notification whenever an MST state changes. This
notification is keyed by the VLANs MSTI rather than the VID, since
multiple VLANs may share the same MST instance.

When the switchdev_handle_fdb_event_to_device() event replication helper
was created, my original thought was that FDB events on LAG interfaces
should most likely be special-cased, not just replicated towards all
switchdev ports beneath that LAG. So this replication helper currently
does not recurse through switchdev lower interfaces of LAG bridge ports,
but rather calls the lag_mod_cb() if that was provided.
No switchdev driver uses this helper for FDB events on LAG interfaces
yet, so that was an assumption which was yet to be tested. It is
certainly usable for that purpose, as my RFC series shows:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/cover/20220210125201.2859463-1-vladimir.oltean@nxp.com/
however this approach is slightly convoluted because:
- the switchdev driver gets a "dev" that isn't its own net device, but
rather the LAG net device. It must call switchdev_lower_dev_find(dev)
in order to get a handle of any of its own net devices (the ones that
pass check_cb).
- in order for FDB entries on LAG ports to be correctly refcounted per
the number of switchdev ports beneath that LAG, we haven't escaped the
need to iterate through the LAG's lower interfaces. Except that is now
the responsibility of the switchdev driver, because the replication
helper just stopped half-way.
So, even though yes, FDB events on LAG bridge ports must be
special-cased, in the end it's simpler to let switchdev_handle_fdb_*
just iterate through the LAG port's switchdev lowers, and let the
switchdev driver figure out that those physical ports are under a LAG.
The switchdev_handle_fdb_event_to_device() helper takes a
"foreign_dev_check" callback so it can figure out whether @dev can
autonomously forward to @foreign_dev. DSA fills this method properly:
if the LAG is offloaded by another port in the same tree as @dev, then
it isn't foreign. If it is a software LAG, it is foreign - forwarding
happens in software.
Whether an interface is foreign or not decides whether the replication
helper will go through the LAG's switchdev lowers or not. Since the
lan966x doesn't properly fill this out, FDB events on software LAG
uppers will get called. By changing lan966x_foreign_dev_check(), we can
suppress them.
Whereas DSA will now start receiving FDB events for its offloaded LAG
uppers, so we need to return -EOPNOTSUPP, since we currently don't do
the right thing for them.

interfaces
The switchdev_handle_port_obj_add() helper is good for replicating a
port object on the lower interfaces of @dev, if that object was emitted
on a bridge, or on a bridge port that is a LAG.
However, drivers that use this helper limit themselves to a box from
which they can no longer intercept port objects notified on neighbor
ports ("foreign interfaces").
One such driver is DSA, where software bridging with foreign interfaces
such as standalone NICs or Wi-Fi APs is an important use case. There, a
VLAN installed on a neighbor bridge port roughly corresponds to a
forwarding VLAN installed on the DSA switch's CPU port.
To support this use case while also making use of the benefits of the
switchdev_handle_* replication helper for port objects, introduce a new
variant of these functions that crawls through the neighbor ports of
@dev, in search of potentially compatible switchdev ports that are
interested in the event.
The strategy is identical to switchdev_handle_fdb_event_to_device():
if @dev wasn't a switchdev interface, then go one step upper, and
recursively call this function on the bridge that this port belongs to.
At the next recursion step, __switchdev_handle_port_obj_add() will
iterate through the bridge's lower interfaces. Among those, some will be
switchdev interfaces, and one will be the original @dev that we came
from. To prevent infinite recursion, we must suppress reentry into the
original @dev, and just call the @add_cb for the switchdev_interfaces.
It looks like this:
br0
/ | \
/ | \
/ | \
swp0 swp1 eth0
1. __switchdev_handle_port_obj_add(eth0)
-> check_cb(eth0) returns false
-> eth0 has no lower interfaces
-> eth0's bridge is br0
-> switchdev_lower_dev_find(br0, check_cb, foreign_dev_check_cb))
finds br0
2. __switchdev_handle_port_obj_add(br0)
-> check_cb(br0) returns false
-> netdev_for_each_lower_dev
-> check_cb(swp0) returns true, so we don't skip this interface
3. __switchdev_handle_port_obj_add(swp0)
-> check_cb(swp0) returns true, so we call add_cb(swp0)
(back to netdev_for_each_lower_dev from 2)
-> check_cb(swp1) returns true, so we don't skip this interface
4. __switchdev_handle_port_obj_add(swp1)
-> check_cb(swp1) returns true, so we call add_cb(swp1)
(back to netdev_for_each_lower_dev from 2)
-> check_cb(eth0) returns false, so we skip this interface to
avoid infinite recursion
Note: eth0 could have been a LAG, and we don't want to suppress the
recursion through its lowers if those exist, so when check_cb() returns
false, we still call switchdev_lower_dev_find() to estimate whether
there's anything worth a recursion beneath that LAG. Using check_cb()
and foreign_dev_check_cb(), switchdev_lower_dev_find() not only figures
out whether the lowers of the LAG are switchdev, but also whether they
actively offload the LAG or not (whether the LAG is "foreign" to the
switchdev interface or not).
The port_obj_info->orig_dev is preserved across recursive calls, so
switchdev drivers still know on which device was this notification
originally emitted.

br_switchdev_port_vlan_add() currently emits a SWITCHDEV_PORT_OBJ_ADD
event with a SWITCHDEV_OBJ_ID_PORT_VLAN for 2 distinct cases:
- a struct net_bridge_vlan got created
- an existing struct net_bridge_vlan was modified
This makes it impossible for switchdev drivers to properly balance
PORT_OBJ_ADD with PORT_OBJ_DEL events, so if we want to allow that to
happen, we must provide a way for drivers to distinguish between a
VLAN with changed flags and a new one.
Annotate struct switchdev_obj_port_vlan with a "bool changed" that
distinguishes the 2 cases above.

To reduce code churn, the same patch makes multiple changes, since they
all touch the same lines:
1. The implementations for these two are identical, just with different
function pointers. Reduce duplications and name the function pointers
"mod_cb" instead of "add_cb" and "del_cb". Pass the event as argument.
2. Drop the "const" attribute from "orig_dev". If the driver needs to
check whether orig_dev belongs to itself and then
call_switchdev_notifiers(orig_dev, SWITCHDEV_FDB_OFFLOADED), it
can't, because call_switchdev_notifiers takes a non-const struct
net_device *.

With the introduction of explicit offloading API in switchdev in commit
2f5dc00f7a3e ("net: bridge: switchdev: let drivers inform which bridge
ports are offloaded"), we started having Ethernet switch drivers calling
directly into a function exported by net/bridge/br_switchdev.c, which is
a function exported by the bridge driver.
This means that drivers that did not have an explicit dependency on the
bridge before, like cpsw and am65-cpsw, now do - otherwise it is not
possible to call a symbol exported by a driver that can be built as
module unless you are a module too.
There was an attempt to solve the dependency issue in the form of commit
b0e81817629a ("net: build all switchdev drivers as modules when the
bridge is a module"). Grygorii Strashko, however, says about it:
| In my opinion, the problem is a bit bigger here than just fixing the
| build :(
|
| In case, of ^cpsw the switchdev mode is kinda optional and in many
| cases (especially for testing purposes, NFS) the multi-mac mode is
| still preferable mode.
|
| There were no such tight dependency between switchdev drivers and
| bridge core before and switchdev serviced as independent, notification
| based layer between them, so ^cpsw still can be "Y" and bridge can be
| "M". Now for mostly every kernel build configuration the CONFIG_BRIDGE
| will need to be set as "Y", or we will have to update drivers to
| support build with BRIDGE=n and maintain separate builds for
| networking vs non-networking testing. But is this enough? Wouldn't
| it cause 'chain reaction' required to add more and more "Y" options
| (like CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q)?
|
| PS. Just to be sure we on the same page - ARM builds will be forced
| (with this patch) to have CONFIG_TI_CPSW_SWITCHDEV=m and so all our
| automation testing will just fail with omap2plus_defconfig.
In the light of this, it would be desirable for some configurations to
avoid dependencies between switchdev drivers and the bridge, and have
the switchdev mode as completely optional within the driver.
Arnd Bergmann also tried to write a patch which better expressed the
build time dependency for Ethernet switch drivers where the switchdev
support is optional, like cpsw/am65-cpsw, and this made the drivers
follow the bridge (compile as module if the bridge is a module) only if
the optional switchdev support in the driver was enabled in the first
place:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/patch/20210802144813.1152762-1-arnd@kernel.org/
but this still did not solve the fact that cpsw and am65-cpsw now must
be built as modules when the bridge is a module - it just expressed
correctly that optional dependency. But the new behavior is an apparent
regression from Grygorii's perspective.
So to support the use case where the Ethernet driver is built-in,
NET_SWITCHDEV (a bool option) is enabled, and the bridge is a module, we
need a framework that can handle the possible absence of the bridge from
the running system, i.e. runtime bloatware as opposed to build-time
bloatware.
Luckily we already have this framework, since switchdev has been using
it extensively. Events from the bridge side are transmitted to the
driver side using notifier chains - this was originally done so that
unrelated drivers could snoop for events emitted by the bridge towards
ports that are implemented by other drivers (think of a switch driver
with LAG offload that listens for switchdev events on a bonding/team
interface that it offloads).
There are also events which are transmitted from the driver side to the
bridge side, which again are modeled using notifiers.
SWITCHDEV_FDB_ADD_TO_BRIDGE is an example of this, and deals with
notifying the bridge that a MAC address has been dynamically learned.
So there is a precedent we can use for modeling the new framework.
The difference compared to SWITCHDEV_FDB_ADD_TO_BRIDGE is that the work
that the bridge needs to do when a port becomes offloaded is blocking in
its nature: replay VLANs, MDBs etc. The calling context is indeed
blocking (we are under rtnl_mutex), but the existing switchdev
notification chain that the bridge is subscribed to is only the atomic
one. So we need to subscribe the bridge to the blocking switchdev
notification chain too.
This patch:
- keeps the driver-side perception of the switchdev_bridge_port_{,un}offload
unchanged
- moves the implementation of switchdev_bridge_port_{,un}offload from
the bridge module into the switchdev module.
- makes everybody that is subscribed to the switchdev blocking notifier
chain "hear" offload & unoffload events
- makes the bridge driver subscribe and handle those events
- moves the bridge driver's handling of those events into 2 new
functions called br_switchdev_port_{,un}offload. These functions
contain in fact the core of the logic that was previously in
switchdev_bridge_port_{,un}offload, just that now we go through an
extra indirection layer to reach them.
Unlike all the other switchdev notification structures, the structure
used to carry the bridge port information, struct
switchdev_notifier_brport_info, does not contain a "bool handled".
This is because in the current usage pattern, we always know that a
switchdev bridge port offloading event will be handled by the bridge,
because the switchdev_bridge_port_offload() call was initiated by a
NETDEV_CHANGEUPPER event in the first place, where info->upper_dev is a
bridge. So if the bridge wasn't loaded, then the CHANGEUPPER event
couldn't have happened.

Currently DSA has an issue with FDB entries pointing towards the bridge
in the presence of br_fdb_replay() being called at port join and leave
time.
In particular, each bridge port will ask for a replay for the FDB
entries pointing towards the bridge when it joins, and for another
replay when it leaves.
This means that for example, a bridge with 4 switch ports will notify
DSA 4 times of the bridge MAC address.
But if the MAC address of the bridge changes during the normal runtime
of the system, the bridge notifies switchdev [ once ] of the deletion of
the old MAC address as a local FDB towards the bridge, and of the
insertion [ again once ] of the new MAC address as a local FDB.
This is a problem, because DSA keeps the old MAC address as a host FDB
entry with refcount 4 (4 ports asked for it using br_fdb_replay). So the
old MAC address will not be deleted. Additionally, the new MAC address
will only be installed with refcount 1, and when the first switch port
leaves the bridge (leaving 3 others as still members), it will delete
with it the new MAC address of the bridge from the local FDB entries
kept by DSA (because the br_fdb_replay call on deletion will bring the
entry's refcount from 1 to 0).
So the problem, really, is that the number of br_fdb_replay() calls is
not matched with the refcount that a host FDB is offloaded to DSA during
normal runtime.
An elegant way to solve the problem would be to make the switchdev
notification emitted by br_fdb_change_mac_address() result in a host FDB
kept by DSA which has a refcount exactly equal to the number of ports
under that bridge. Then, no matter how many DSA ports join or leave that
bridge, the host FDB entry will always be deleted when there are exactly
zero remaining DSA switch ports members of the bridge.
To implement the proposed solution, we remember that the switchdev
objects and port attributes have some helpers provided by switchdev,
which can be optionally called by drivers:
switchdev_handle_port_obj_{add,del} and switchdev_handle_port_attr_set.
These helpers:
- fan out a switchdev object/attribute emitted for the bridge towards
all the lower interfaces that pass the check_cb().
- fan out a switchdev object/attribute emitted for a bridge port that is
a LAG towards all the lower interfaces that pass the check_cb().
In other words, this is the model we need for the FDB events too:
something that will keep an FDB entry emitted towards a physical port as
it is, but translate an FDB entry emitted towards the bridge into N FDB
entries, one per physical port.
Of course, there are many differences between fanning out a switchdev
object (VLAN) on 3 lower interfaces of a LAG and fanning out an FDB
entry on 3 lower interfaces of a LAG. Intuitively, an FDB entry towards
a LAG should be treated specially, because FDB entries are unicast, we
can't just install the same address towards 3 destinations. It is
imaginable that drivers might want to treat this case specifically, so
create some methods for this case and do not recurse into the LAG lower
ports, just the bridge ports.
DSA also listens for FDB entries on "foreign" interfaces, aka interfaces
bridged with us which are not part of our hardware domain: think an
Ethernet switch bridged with a Wi-Fi AP. For those addresses, DSA
installs host FDB entries. However, there we have the same problem
(those host FDB entries are installed with a refcount of only 1) and an
even bigger one which we did not have with FDB entries towards the
bridge:
br_fdb_replay() is currently not called for FDB entries on foreign
interfaces, just for the physical port and for the bridge itself.
So when DSA sniffs an address learned by the software bridge towards a
foreign interface like an e1000 port, and then that e1000 leaves the
bridge, DSA remains with the dangling host FDB address. That will be
fixed separately by replaying all FDB entries and not just the ones
towards the port and the bridge.

In the case where the driver asks for a replay of a certain type of
event (port object or attribute) for a bridge port that is a LAG, it may
do so because this port has just joined the LAG.
But there might already be other switchdev ports in that LAG, and it is
preferable that those preexisting switchdev ports do not act upon the
replayed event.
The solution is to add a context to switchdev events, which is NULL most
of the time (when the bridge layer initiates the call) but which can be
set to a value controlled by the switchdev driver when a replay is
requested. The driver can then check the context to figure out if all
ports within the LAG should act upon the switchdev event, or just the
ones that match the context.
We have to modify all switchdev_handle_* helper functions as well as the
prototypes in the drivers that use these helpers too, because these
helpers hide the underlying struct switchdev_notifier_info from us and
there is no way to retrieve the context otherwise.
The context structure will be populated and used in later patches.

As explained in bugfix commit 6ab4c3117aec ("net: bridge: don't notify
switchdev for local FDB addresses") as well as in this discussion:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20210117193009.io3nungdwuzmo5f7@skbuf/
the switchdev notifiers for FDB entries managed to have a zero-day bug,
which was that drivers would not know what to do with local FDB entries,
because they were not told that they are local. The bug fix was to
simply not notify them of those addresses.
Let us now add the 'is_local' bit to bridge FDB entries, and make all
drivers ignore these entries by their own choice.

I have a system with DSA ports, and udhcpcd is configured to bring
interfaces up as soon as they are created.
I create a bridge as follows:
ip link add br0 type bridge
As soon as I create the bridge and udhcpcd brings it up, I also have
avahi which automatically starts sending IPv6 packets to advertise some
local services, and because of that, the br0 bridge joins the following
IPv6 groups due to the code path detailed below:
33:33:ff:6d:c1:9c vid 0
33:33:00:00:00:6a vid 0
33:33:00:00:00:fb vid 0
br_dev_xmit
-> br_multicast_rcv
-> br_ip6_multicast_add_group
-> __br_multicast_add_group
-> br_multicast_host_join
-> br_mdb_notify
This is all fine, but inside br_mdb_notify we have br_mdb_switchdev_host
hooked up, and switchdev will attempt to offload the host joined groups
to an empty list of ports. Of course nobody offloads them.
Then when we add a port to br0:
ip link set swp0 master br0
the bridge doesn't replay the host-joined MDB entries from br_add_if,
and eventually the host joined addresses expire, and a switchdev
notification for deleting it is emitted, but surprise, the original
addition was already completely missed.
The strategy to address this problem is to replay the MDB entries (both
the port ones and the host joined ones) when the new port joins the
bridge, similar to what vxlan_fdb_replay does (in that case, its FDB can
be populated and only then attached to a bridge that you offload).
However there are 2 possibilities: the addresses can be 'pushed' by the
bridge into the port, or the port can 'pull' them from the bridge.
Considering that in the general case, the new port can be really late to
the party, and there may have been many other switchdev ports that
already received the initial notification, we would like to avoid
delivering duplicate events to them, since they might misbehave. And
currently, the bridge calls the entire switchdev notifier chain, whereas
for replaying it should just call the notifier block of the new guy.
But the bridge doesn't know what is the new guy's notifier block, it
just knows where the switchdev notifier chain is. So for simplification,
we make this a driver-initiated pull for now, and the notifier block is
passed as an argument.
To emulate the calling context for mdb objects (deferred and put on the
blocking notifier chain), we must iterate under RCU protection through
the bridge's mdb entries, queue them, and only call them once we're out
of the RCU read-side critical section.
There was some opportunity for reuse between br_mdb_switchdev_host_port,
br_mdb_notify and the newly added br_mdb_queue_one in how the switchdev
mdb object is created, so a helper was created.

Add the member sw_backup to the structures switchdev_obj_ring_role_mrp
and switchdev_obj_in_role_mrp. In this way the SW can call the driver in
2 ways, once when sw_backup is set to false, meaning that the driver
should implement this completely in HW. And if that is not supported the
SW will call again but with sw_backup set to true, meaning that the
HW should help or allow the SW to run the protocol.
For example when role is MRM, if the HW can't detect when it stops
receiving MRP Test frames but it can trap these frames to CPU, then it
needs to return -EOPNOTSUPP when sw_backup is false and return 0 when
sw_backup is true.

This switchdev attribute offers a counterproductive API for a driver
writer, because although br_switchdev_set_port_flag gets passed a
"flags" and a "mask", those are passed piecemeal to the driver, so while
the PRE_BRIDGE_FLAGS listener knows what changed because it has the
"mask", the BRIDGE_FLAGS listener doesn't, because it only has the final
value. But certain drivers can offload only certain combinations of
settings, like for example they cannot change unicast flooding
independently of multicast flooding - they must be both on or both off.
The way the information is passed to switchdev makes drivers not
expressive enough, and unable to reject this request ahead of time, in
the PRE_BRIDGE_FLAGS notifier, so they are forced to reject it during
the deferred BRIDGE_FLAGS attribute, where the rejection is currently
ignored.
This patch also changes drivers to make use of the "mask" field for edge
detection when possible.

Since the introduction of the switchdev API, port attributes were
transmitted to drivers for offloading using a two-step transactional
model, with a prepare phase that was supposed to catch all errors, and a
commit phase that was supposed to never fail.
Some classes of failures can never be avoided, like hardware access, or
memory allocation. In the latter case, merely attempting to move the
memory allocation to the preparation phase makes it impossible to avoid
memory leaks, since commit 91cf8eceffc1 ("switchdev: Remove unused
transaction item queue") which has removed the unused mechanism of
passing on the allocated memory between one phase and another.
It is time we admit that separating the preparation from the commit
phase is something that is best left for the driver to decide, and not
something that should be baked into the API, especially since there are
no switchdev callers that depend on this.
This patch removes the struct switchdev_trans member from switchdev port
attribute notifier structures, and converts drivers to not look at this
member.
In part, this patch contains a revert of my previous commit 2e554a7a5d8a
("net: dsa: propagate switchdev vlan_filtering prepare phase to
drivers").
For the most part, the conversion was trivial except for:
- Rocker's world implementation based on Broadcom OF-DPA had an odd
implementation of ofdpa_port_attr_bridge_flags_set. The conversion was
done mechanically, by pasting the implementation twice, then only
keeping the code that would get executed during prepare phase on top,
then only keeping the code that gets executed during the commit phase
on bottom, then simplifying the resulting code until this was obtained.
- DSA's offloading of STP state, bridge flags, VLAN filtering and
multicast router could be converted right away. But the ageing time
could not, so a shim was introduced and this was left for a further
commit.

Where driver conversion is trivial (like in the case of the Marvell
Prestera driver, NXP DPAA2 switch, TI CPSW, and Rocker drivers), it is
done in this patch.
Where driver conversion needs more attention (DSA, Mellanox Spectrum),
the conversion is left for subsequent patches and here we only fake the
prepare/commit phases at a lower level, just not in the switchdev
notifier itself.
Where the code has a natural structure that is best left alone as a

that structure is left in place, just made to not depend upon the
switchdev transactional model.

br_switchdev_port_vlan_add
The ranges UAPI was introduced to the bridge in commit bdced7ef7838
("bridge: support for multiple vlans and vlan ranges in setlink and
dellink requests") (Jan 10 2015). But the VLAN ranges (parsed in br_afspec)
have always been passed one by one, through struct bridge_vlan_info
tmp_vinfo, to br_vlan_info. So the range never went too far in depth.
Then Scott Feldman introduced the switchdev_port_bridge_setlink function
in commit 47f8328bb1a4 ("switchdev: add new switchdev bridge setlink").
That marked the introduction of the SWITCHDEV_OBJ_PORT_VLAN, which made
full use of the range. But switchdev_port_bridge_setlink was called like
this:
br_setlink
-> br_afspec
-> switchdev_port_bridge_setlink
Basically, the switchdev and the bridge code were not tightly integrated.
Then commit 41c498b9359e ("bridge: restore br_setlink back to original")
came, and switchdev drivers were required to implement
.ndo_bridge_setlink = switchdev_port_bridge_setlink for a while.
In the meantime, commits such as 0944d6b5a2fa ("bridge: try switchdev op
first in __vlan_vid_add/del") finally made switchdev penetrate the
br_vlan_info() barrier and start to develop the call path we have today.
But remember, br_vlan_info() still receives VLANs one by one.
Then Arkadi Sharshevsky refactored the switchdev API in 2017 in commit
29ab586c3d83 ("net: switchdev: Remove bridge bypass support from
switchdev") so that drivers would not implement .ndo_bridge_setlink any
longer. The switchdev_port_bridge_setlink also got deleted.
This refactoring removed the parallel bridge_setlink implementation from
switchdev, and left the only switchdev VLAN objects to be the ones
offloaded from __vlan_vid_add (basically RX filtering) and __vlan_add
(the latter coming from commit 9c86ce2c1ae3 ("net: bridge: Notify about
bridge VLANs")).
That is to say, today the switchdev VLAN object ranges are not used in
the kernel. Refactoring the above call path is a bit complicated, when
the bridge VLAN call path is already a bit complicated.
Let's go off and finish the job of commit 29ab586c3d83 by deleting the
bogus iteration through the VLAN ranges from the drivers. Some aspects
of this feature never made too much sense in the first place. For
example, what is a range of VLANs all having the BRIDGE_VLAN_INFO_PVID
flag supposed to mean, when a port can obviously have a single pvid?
This particular configuration _is_ denied as of commit 6623c60dc28e
("bridge: vlan: enforce no pvid flag in vlan ranges"), but from an API
perspective, the driver still has to play pretend, and only offload the
vlan->vid_end as pvid. And the addition of a switchdev VLAN object can
modify the flags of another, completely unrelated, switchdev VLAN
object! (a VLAN that is PVID will invalidate the PVID flag from whatever
other VLAN had previously been offloaded with switchdev and had that
flag. Yet switchdev never notifies about that change, drivers are
supposed to guess).
Nonetheless, having a VLAN range in the API makes error handling look
scarier than it really is - unwinding on errors and all of that.
When in reality, no one really calls this API with more than one VLAN.
It is all unnecessary complexity.
And despite appearing pretentious (two-phase transactional model and
all), the switchdev API is really sloppy because the VLAN addition and
removal operations are not paired with one another (you can add a VLAN
100 times and delete it just once). The bridge notifies through
switchdev of a VLAN addition not only when the flags of an existing VLAN
change, but also when nothing changes. There are switchdev drivers out
there who don't like adding a VLAN that has already been added, and
those checks don't really belong at driver level. But the fact that the
API contains ranges is yet another factor that prevents this from being
addressed in the future.
Of the existing switchdev pieces of hardware, it appears that only
Mellanox Spectrum supports offloading more than one VLAN at a time,
through mlxsw_sp_port_vlan_set. I have kept that code internal to the
driver, because there is some more bookkeeping that makes use of it, but
I deleted it from the switchdev API. But since the switchdev support for
ranges has already been de facto deleted by a Mellanox employee and
nobody noticed for 4 years, I'm going to assume it's not a biggie.

A node that has the MRA role, it can behave as MRM or MRC.
Initially it starts as MRM and sends MRP_Test frames on both ring ports.
If it detects that there are MRP_Test send by another MRM, then it
checks if these frames have a lower priority than itself. In this case
it would send MRP_Nack frames to notify the other node that it needs to
stop sending MRP_Test frames.
If it receives a MRP_Nack frame then it stops sending MRP_Test frames
and starts to behave as a MRC but it would continue to monitor the
MRP_Test frames send by MRM. If at a point the MRM stops to send
MRP_Test frames it would get the MRM role and start to send MRP_Test
frames.

After the transition from switchdev operations to notifier chain (which
will take place in following patches), the onus is on the driver to find
its own devices below possible layer of LAG or other uppers.
The logic to do so is fairly repetitive: each driver is looking for its
own devices among the lowers of the notified device. For those that it
finds, it calls a handler. To indicate that the event was handled,
struct switchdev_notifier_port_obj_info.handled is set. The differences
lie only in what constitutes an "own" device and what handler to call.
Therefore abstract this logic into two helpers,
switchdev_handle_port_obj_add() and switchdev_handle_port_obj_del(). If
a driver only supports physical ports under a bridge device, it will
simply avoid this layer of indirection.
One area where this helper diverges from the current switchdev behavior
is the case of mixed lowers, some of which are switchdev ports and some
of which are not. Previously, such scenario would fail with -EOPNOTSUPP.
The helper could do that for lowers for which the passed-in predicate
doesn't hold. That would however break the case that switchdev ports
from several different drivers are stashed under one master, a scenario
that switchdev currently happily supports. Therefore tolerate any and
all unknown netdevices, whether they are backed by a switchdev driver
or not.

An offloading driver may need to have access to switchdev events on
ports that aren't directly under its control. An example is a VXLAN port
attached to a bridge offloaded by a driver. The driver needs to know
about VLANs configured on the VXLAN device. However the VXLAN device
isn't stashed between the bridge and a front-panel-port device (such as
is the case e.g. for LAG devices), so the usual switchdev ops don't
reach the driver.
VXLAN is likely not the only device type like this: in theory any L2
tunnel device that needs offloading will prompt requirement of this
sort. This falsifies the assumption that only the lower devices of a
front panel port need to be notified to achieve flawless offloading.
A way to fix this is to give up the notion of port object addition /
deletion as a switchdev operation, which assumes somewhat tight coupling
between the message producer and consumer. And instead send the message
over a notifier chain.
To that end, introduce two new switchdev notifier types,
SWITCHDEV_PORT_OBJ_ADD and SWITCHDEV_PORT_OBJ_DEL. These notifier types
communicate the same event as the corresponding switchdev op, except in
a form of a notification. struct switchdev_notifier_port_obj_info was
added to carry the fields that the switchdev op carries. An additional
field, handled, will be used to communicate back to switchdev that the
event has reached an interested party, which will be important for the
two-phase commit.
The two switchdev operations themselves are kept in place. Following
patches first convert individual clients to the notifier protocol, and
only then are the operations removed.

In general one can't assume that a switchdev notifier is called in a
non-atomic context, and correspondingly, the switchdev notifier chain is
an atomic one.
However, port object addition and deletion messages are delivered from a
process context. Even the MDB addition messages, whose delivery is
scheduled from atomic context, are queued and the delivery itself takes
place in blocking context. For VLAN messages in particular, keeping the
blocking nature is important for error reporting.
Therefore introduce a blocking notifier chain and related service
functions to distribute the notifications for which a blocking context
can be assumed.
